Well, the usage scenarios are clearly there. What's left is how they
are packaged and for whom, which brings us back to computer education.
When you go to an "introduction to computers" class, you find
windows, a programming class, windows + others, a graphics class,
windows + others, office, windows + ms office but when you go to a
linux class CLI and DNS, etc
Basically what i meant with creating more usage scenarios was, having
focused linux courses say, a graphics class/material on linux,
programming class/material on linux, office class/material on linux, etc
Is it possible for luggers to collaborate on creating such material?
Btw, *When* i get my linux box onto the public internet, the first
thing to put will be a jabberd and Asterisk.

oi.
we run:
- smeserver as our office server. Does all that Winblows does +
Exchange, ISA
server, + spam & virusmonitoring, sceduled backups etc etc. We
comfortably
give that box a public IP. We also use a package called apt-cacher,
which
caches the updates of our Kubuntu clients. That is saving us a hell
of a lot
of bandwith.
- Run websites & Internet based software on the internet (actually,
most
people who do websites run them off a linux box) The web-based apps
we use:
- SugarCRM for our CRM
- MediaWiki for our Wiki
- Joomla for our website
- All staff runs Kubuntu, except for the graphic people, who insist
on Adobe
software. (but Google has just injected some money in the wine
project, so we
are looking forward of a Wine release that supports CS3)
- The most used applications in our office
- Firefox
- OpenOffice (wether on winblows of kubuntu)
- Quanta, for web-development
- Gimp, for graphics (reads .psd files perfectly, for non artists)
- SMB4K which is a small tool to mount Samba shares
- and some others: Kopete for chat, Amarok for music, Kaffeine for
video,
Skype, etc.
And you know what? It just works. Sure, we sometimes have a hickup.
But we
would have the same thing on windows.
ah, and no virussses.
So what is it you were saying about no usage scenarios, exactly?
